Habitat

An Etsy seller fills her lakeside B.C. cottage with secondhand treasures

“We were pushed out of our comfort zone, to embrace things we would not necessarily think of on our own”

The owners gutted the place and turned it into a retro fun house

Seasoned home renovator Rebekah Higgs created her own all-pink palace, which she shares with her daughter and dog 

They wanted a one-level home where they could age in place

“The condo started feeling like nobody else could have possibly lived here but me”

Homeowners Kate Inglis and Nick Bakker went great lengths to preserve their house’s character and history

 “We didn’t want to wreck the environment with a mansion—we wanted it to remain wild”

“It came to us perfect. We’ve grown so attached to it that we never want to leave.” 

“The best compliment we get is that the house looks like Megan Draper’s apartment in Mad Men”
